Don’t Wait on a Concussion

Anytime someone sees an accident occur, there’s the difficult question of how to respond. Some types of accidents seem relatively minor — a person sustains a bit of a blow from a falling object, bumps his or her head on a fixed installation or falls from a certain height — and the individual appears to be okay shortly afterwards. However, there are other considerations that many people leave out of the equation when they start thinking about how to respond to an observed accident, particularly with respect to the legal ramifications that really make immediate medical testing a big priority.

Maternal death rate on the rise

It might be nerve-racking for pregnant women in New York to know that the maternal mortality rate in the United States has increased since 1990. In every 100 live births prior to the 1930s, almost one woman died from related complications. This rate had steadily declined by 1987 to fewer than eight maternal deaths out of 100,000 births. Between 1990 and 2013, however, 18.5 women out of 100,000 giving birth died.

My Building Floor is Always Wet!

Prior to speaking with a personal injury lawyer, some injury victims have a mistaken belief that every case is relatively the same and simply having evidence of injury automatically triggers compensation. However, victims should understand that resolving such issues is not as easy as they may think. There are many factors involved in the context of an injury case that must be considered in order to determine the likelihood of obtaining a successful outcome. It’s not enough to just say that β€œthis happened here.” In fact, under federal, state and local law, there are things that injury lawyers have to present in court to support

Safety in the β€œSharing Economy”

By now, most people have heard about Uber and other ride-sharing services that consumers are using throughout New York and many other states in the U.S. The services are quickly emerging to challenge classic taxicab systems and provide urban dwellers and others with options for getting from one place to another — but they also come with their own set of risks and problems that are on the radar of public officials. A recent news story discusses some of these concerns which are coming to the forefront of the debate over how the β€œsharing economy” and ride-sharing services work. β€œAmerican cities are enticed by the

No Flares? How Insufficient Lighting Leads to Accidents

It might seem like a casual detail, but safety lighting is critically important in many accident cases and even more important in motorcycle accidents. At the beginning of dusk, as daylight starts to fall away, such conditions can cause dangerously low-lit sections of roads. The issue compounds as twilight unfolds, which is why at some point, law enforcement officers who see vehicles without headlights on will often stop the vehicles and cite the drivers. The danger is even worse after dark where without proper lighting, serious accidents can result. As difficult as it can be to see motor vehicles at night, without proper lighting, it’s

Is Trash Dangerous? Another Reason to go β€œZero Waste” in NYC

It’s a well-established idea that most people don’t think about where their trash goes once they’ve disposed of it, and individuals without connections to the waste industry usually will not spend a lot of time contemplating the intricate relationships between humans, retail and commercial systems, and the physical waste created in urban areas. We do not have a famous New York City garbage museum where people can go to look at the history of garbage. However, a very insightful piece recently posted on CityLimits.org entitled, β€œLandfill Legacies of New York City” looks at what has happened to large areas of the city since the original
